Application :filed July 18, 1921. Serial No. 485,727.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, IVAN A'. WASILIEFF, a citizen of; Russia, residingat Bridgeport, county of Fairfield, and State of Connecticut, havelinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Clothesline Brackets, ofwhich the following is a specification.

The present invention relates to improvements in clothes hangers, and itis the principal object of the invention to provide a clothes hangerwhereby the clothes may be hung up to dry out of doors by va personwithin a building and whereby the` clothes can be readily removed fromthe lines after drying, also from a point within the building, thusavoiding the danger of death or injury to persons falling from a windowwhile occupied with hanging or `removing wash.

Another object of the invention is to provide a clothes hanger which maybe readily attached to the window or door of a building exteriorly ofthebuilding so as to allow a turning of the pulley suspension arm in anydirection for allowing a swinging of this arm and its. pulley into thebuilding for the convenient hanging of the articles upon and removingthe same from the device.

A further object of the invention is the provision of a clothes hangerwhich is provided with suitable guides for the clothes line, and adaptedto be braced, and which permits the clothes fastening elements to beused or removed without danger of damaging or losing the same.

'These and other like objects are attained by the novel construction andcombination of parts hereinafter more fully described and shown in theaccompanying drawing, forming a material part of this disclosure and inwhich- Figure 1 is a perspective view of a device constructed accordingto my invention illus-' trating its'position when swung into abuildigure 2 is a similar view illustrating the position of the devicewhen swung out of a building. f

Figure 3 is a vertical section through the tubular arms andco-operati-ng parts, Figure 4 is a detail view of a ring nut andeferring more particularly to the 'drawu ing, it will be understoodthat-the device is to be used in combination with van ordinary l' pulleywhich is attached to any suitable sup# port in the well known manner.

My device comprises a tubular arm 10 provided with rotatable sleevesor'bands 11 and 12 attached to the arm in spaced rela- 60 y tion andprovided with angularly disposed fastening wings 13 and 14 respectivelyso that the device may be secured to the edge i of a window *by` bolts15 orthe like passed through the perforations 16 in saidbands. 55 fAbove one of the sleeves, 11,- the arm 10 carries a T-sleeve 17 providedwith inner i threads in one of its arms for the reception of theexteriorly threaded end 18 of an arm 19.

A rotatable ring v20 or tightening nut provided with a plurality ofperforations 21 is provided at the outer end of the lT sleeve and can betightened by the introduction of a pin, for instancevthe pin 21 of a 75`suitable tool (Fig. 4:) into the perforations of the ring in order'tolock arm 19 which is. rotatable in the T sleeve 17 in any of thepositions of its angular branch 19 to the T ysleeve for keeping theclothes line'taut, 80 and for allowing a' convenient kguiding of theline over head 21 and around the rotatable sleeve 22 before swinging theline out of a window.

The outer free end 'of the armv 19 carriesk V815 an angular arm 19" towhich is attached hook 23 from which a clothes line pulley 24 issuspended in the .well knownV mannerv for guiding the clothes line 25 inthe manner in# dicated in Figure 1.

The operation of the device will be clear f from the above descriptionwithout further explanation,v and it will be clear that the deviceillustrated is showing the preferred form only and that changes may be-`made 96 inthe general arrangement and in the construction of the minordetails without departing from the scope and spirit of my invention. y f
